Our thickest, richest recipe yet, this formula is manna from heaven for dry, stressed, sensitive, and inflamed skin. Hydrating herbs blend with a generous helping of restorative oils, oatmilk, and cupuacu butter to assist skin from deep within. This recipe has been updated as of April 2018 with several new sustainable, nontoxic, plant-based ingredients to enhance the preservation of the product. The nutrient profile, smell, and consistency will match what customers have come to know and love.

We begin with freshly infused organic oatmilk, a moisturizing powerhouse that has been well known for centuries as a traditional skin remedy. What our grandparents didn't know was that Beta-glucans were part of why it works so well. Beta-glucans are special sugars from oats and mushrooms capable of penetrating deeply through multiple layers of skin which means hydration in places other ingredients may not reach. Add to these nifty qualities the fact that they can improve the appearance of redness and inflammation and the humble oat starts to seem far more exciting.

Mushrooms are another key Beta-glucan source and we've included a hefty helping of beautiful Reishi and Maitake mushrooms to complement the oats. To all this we add organic St. John's Wort, Astragalus, Self Heal, and Passionflower to assist the pickiest skin.

That's already a good boost of hydration but we didn't stop there. Cupuacu butter is an Amazonian rainforest superhero of moisture retention for skin, sealing in what skin needs due to its rich phytosterol content. It softens, conditions, and fortifies skin with more than 10 antioxidant compounds as well.

Organic oils of Baobab, Pomegranate, Perilla, and Pumpkin make a synergy to nourish skin after exposure to sun and wind, or to improve the appearance of chronic inflammation. Together they offer up some beautiful results that improve the look of resilience and even fine lines.

A once a week mask with Lavish and your skin will be feeling like it has had the star treatment. If you suffer from chronic winter dry skin, redness, roughness, and flakiness this mask will be your jam. Even for normal skin types it is a softening, luxurious indulgence. Lavish has become a huge customer favorite for very good reason.

Lavish was originally formulated as a mask but it has so many more uses that we've discovered over time! You can also use Lavish as a leave-on moisturizer for dry skin, a deep conditioning mask for hair, and even a hand and body moisturizer. Multitasking beauty is a big trend, and we love the environmentally friendly and budget friendly aspects of using one product to do more. Check out our article detailing these additional uses.

Lavish also won the Best Face Mask Award from Healing Lifestyles and Spas in their 2017 Earth Day Beauty Awards.

Please note, though pictured with a cotton bag this product now comes in a box since we have now been able to get them printed for this item.

This mask quickly has become my favorite out of all the brands and masks I've tried. The consistency is so creamy yet thick and easy to apply. The smell is very mild and it's mysteriously yummy. Best of all, it works! My skin is super sensitive, acne prone, dry patches and allergic to gluten, coconut oil, and jojoba oil. i'm glad this mask doesn't contain those ingredients and it soothes my blemishes and dry patches all at once! Thank you again, Blissoma.

Gentle Pampering For A Cranky Face

When I first got this as a sample, I loved how rich, thick and vanilla pudding like it was in consistency similar to the thickness of the Soothing Sensitive Moisturizer. The smell is even more awesome. To me it naturally smells like almond oatmeal or vanilla pudding which is a very wholesome and comforting sort of fragrance. The smell is most likely due to all of the oatmilk in the mask which is very calming and soothing on the skin. My skin has been somewhat irritable during these colder months and this mask along with the Restore oil and the Soothing Moisturizer has helped calm, soothe, and moisturize my dry winter skin. I have even had a few blemishes and this mask has helped to heal and calm the redness while restoring a calm, soft, moisture balance. One thing of note about this mask is that it is quite thick and at first I have to admit that I thought it might be too rich or might clog my pores. However, after using this mask 3 times via the sample size I haven't found that to be the case at all. While it is rich and thick like a heavy moisturizer, it rinses quite well with tepid water and does not leave your face feeling heavy, greasy, or like there is a film of any kind on your skin. I was actually surprised by this, although I know I shouldn't be since it's a Blissoma product. ;) After leaving each mask treatment on my face for 20-30 minutes and then rinsing, my skin was soothed, calm, soft, and lightly hydrated. What's really great is that since this mask is very hydrating I feel OK using it as much as needed to help re-balance and hydrate without any fear of over-drying or over-exfoliating like I might with a clay mask. It's great as a winter rescue for cranky skin, for calming everyday irritations, or to help restore skin moisture and balance. I hope it's a permanent edition to the Blissoma Sensitive line because like the rest of sensitive products, I love everything about it and have now of course bought the full size. :)

Great product - whenever my skin starts feeling a bit tight/dry, I use a light coat as my overnight moisturizer. It doesn't cause me to breakout, and I wake up with soft, quenched skin. My skin: sensitive, fair to medium, combination to dry, 35 years

love this product!

I fell in love with this product immediately. I have a very sensitive skin that's prone to acne and zits. This mask is so calming, I love its smell and how delicate it feels on my face.The first time I used this product, I had a big inflamed zit on my forehead. I left the product on for approx. 25 mins and after I washed my face with warm water, I looked and that zit was significantly smaller. I followed the mask with the Restore deep healing oil and my face felt so smooth and hydrated. I used this mask at least twice a week and on a daily basis I use the Restore deep healing oil with Pure - Sensitive Skin Soothing Complex. I'm loving the results since my face now is so clear. I was able to get rid of all the chemically processed skin care products I had used before. This mask is a staple now is my skincare regime.

Wonderful for mature skin!

I have been using this mask for several months for my moisture-seeking maturing skin, and have found it to be just that little extra that I have needed! It also calms my skin if it is a little too dry or flaking in some areas. Recently, I have used it post procedure, and it is now my go-to recovery make. I have started using a small amount nightly high on my cheekbones under the eye (not right up under the eye however), and have seen wonderful results in the dryness in that area in the AM. No more smile crinkles in that area from too dry cheeks. Thank you for another wonderful product.

Q:I love this mask and started using it as a night cream (a smaller amount, obviously) because it calms and hydrates my face better than anything else. Does the formula object against using it like that? Thank you!!

Asked by: Katrine
- 4/6/2014

A: This is a wonderful question, and a fantastic additional way to be able to use Lavish. You can absolutely use a small amount as a leave-on cream for your face. There is nothing in the recipe that would be a problem for that. It is very rich so as you're noting just a small amount would be necessary. We have been using it here in much the same way, as both a leave-on treatment for face and also for dry hands! It was a very valuable product during the coldest parts of winter for irritation on cheeks and we have a jar by the computer for use on hands, which it does a remarkable job on as well.We're so happy to hear you are enjoying Lavish, and glad to see you've found it useful in more ways than one.

Q:St. John's Wort is a very strong photosensitizer, and it's listed fairly high up on the list of ingredients. Should the use of Lavish as a leave-on be restricted to night because of that?

Asked by: Peggy
- 6/27/2015

A: St. John's wort is anti-inflammatory and analgesic for skin irritations and damage.The infusion in Lavish is a small percent, it's not a huge portion of the herbs but it's not nothing either. If the use of it during the day is periodic and not every single day it should not be a problem. Most people who are taking St. John's Wort for emotional balance are taking fairly high doses every single day. The level in Lavish does not compare to that kind of usage.So far we have not had any reports of problems with it creating any sun sensitivity either but because of the thick consistency of the product it may also be best to use it at night regardless.
